The 2026 Nissan Murano arrives refreshed to take on Toyota and Honda in the midsize SUV segment. Without claiming a premium label, it offers a near-luxury experience with a futuristic design and an interior that prioritizes comfort. During a test in the snow of Pennsylvania, it proved to be a reliable companion for daily driving and the harshest conditions.
A turbo engine with all-wheel drive for the daily routine 🚗
Under the hood of the Murano Platinum, we find a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine delivering 241 horsepower, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive comes standard, providing grip on slippery surfaces. The cabin is well-equipped, with soft-touch materials and comfortable seats that make you forget the miles, although the trunk is not the largest in its class.
The SUV that turns snow into a rolling spa ❄️
Driving the 2026 Murano in the middle of a storm is almost therapeutic: the heated seats and interior silence make you forget there's a white chaos outside. That said, when you get home and see the garage full of melted snow that fell from the wheel wells, you remember it's still a normal car, not an igloo on wheels. But hey, at least you arrive dry and with a warm back.
